Modern Chimney Sweeping |
||
Chimney Sweeping has progressed a long way since the Victorian era, when small children were sent up chimneys. By contrast, modern chimney sweeping is a clean and efficient process. Traditional brushes are still used, as these still provide the most effective method of soot removal. Today, however, the front of the fireplace is completely sealed prior to sweeping, and powerful vacuum cleaners are used to remove all traces of soot after cleaning. | ||
